I smoked two racks of Baby Backs tonight and on one of them I tried a new rub that I got from Excalibur called "Hickory Char & Thyme":

On the other rack, I used my tried and true Excalibur BBQ Smokehouse Seasoning and that rack was awesome as usual:
http://www.waltonsinc.com/p-3470-smokehouse-bbq-no-msg.aspxThis was my first smoke of ribs at 235 (have always done 225 before) and I think I left them in a little too long. We had a rain storm come through and while my smoker was out of the rain, in order to get to it I would have gotten soaked. So, I let them go about 5.50-5.75 hours until the storm passed when they should have come out right at 5 hours. Next time, I know that I need to at least check them at the 4.5-5.0 hour mark.
All in all it was a successful smoke and between my two teenage boys and I we polished off two full racks of ribs. I am stuffed right now as I am typing this even after eating 4 hours ago.
